Some time ago I found a map on/in RR that showed a map of the transmitter sites of the MARRS System and for the life of me I can't remember or find where in RR it was. Any onw out there happen to know?

The only problem with that map is the simulcast sites are just centers and not each tower

Yeah I wish we could have those better represented in the DB. The call sign map is always somewhat
close but always include a few old sites or stuff that really isn't RF subsites. Fun to think about a new way to populate RR and
output into maps.

Click on the FCC Callsigns link next to the Locations link.
It may not be accurate either because you never know if all the callsigns used at each site were submitted and some of the locations are for FX and MO.

If any sites are using a 700 MHz State License then the FCC doesn't have location data for those.

Agreed. so go to each callsign and look at site coordinates and create a map based on that.

Since the map, I just provided tells you how many sites there are for each county.

The FCC coordinates should match up real close to the number of sites listed, not including any recent fill-in sites that have come online, my map is dated from early on the planning of this system.

The major sites have not changed much other than the hardware inside.

It will take a bit of detective work but it will surprise you how big it really is, also don't discount the microwave licenses they will help you cross-reference the sites quite nicely.

FCC Data is your key, pay attention to the FRNs that will help link things together.

I have a microwave and site map in PDF someplace I will have to find it and reshare it here.
